A let down from the Highlanders and the Blues as realistically NZ could have had 5 wins from 5 games this weekend, The Western Force played really well though and deserved the win especially after defending the last 10 minutes with just 13 players.

“But this is no NWO Conspiracy …”

So Stephie Boy

When Joe Biden, the Vice President of the United States of America, supposed wealthiest nation in the world (pfff) publicly announced the New World Order seen on You Tube, that was in fact a mass hallucination from hundreds of camera operators and elite politicians who never stood up in the media to deny Bidens announcement.

I see.

Actually Stephie Boy, I absolutely don’t see that at all.

The reason so many Jews got caught up in Germany – even when all citizens fire arms had been taken by the state and IBM cards were used to identify race and religion – is because they ignored the warnings then. Now history is repeating.

“….I was for a while attending a mega-church here in Chch. The amount of money and work that went into supporting and helping the poor was phenomenal….”

I’d agree with that but some of these Churces are really lite on Scripture – picking out all the ‘nice friendly stuff’.

In the 70’s as a kid I used to attend on rare occasions a smaller ‘Biblical’ Church in CH-CH – I can’t remeber what they were called but they were very supportive of ‘family’ and how to keep children and teenagers on the straight and narrow and away from drugs and alcohol. All was based on solid Biblical themes that they used at the start of ‘family evenings’ then they showed documentries on the lifes of drug addicts ect. All the people there were very supportive and friendly of each others families.

From memory it was in an old picture theatre -or next to one- opposite the old CH-Ch council offices down High st or Tuam st – anyway one of those streets that ran the same way. Looking back I’m glad I went as when I left school drugs were available to almost anyone. And at that age when your workmates, team mates ect are useing them….well….

The Link to the trend calculator at RSShttp://images.remss.com/msu/msu_time_series.html
On the left is a box marked channel.
The default is TLT the lowest atmospheric resolution The data crunching gives.
Note the atmospheric area sampled goes from 0 to 10.000km.
This is showing a warming at 1.24k decade.
As you click down the channels note how the trend declines the higher up you go.
At TTS the trend is almost 0
From there as you go higher the trend becomes negative showing cooling.
C14 shows A trend of – 0.761k a decade
This shows that the energy radiated into space is declining .

If the imput is constant (the sun) and the output is falling (energy the earth radiates back into space) the retained energy is increasing. Hence the globe is warming

Looking at only one of a number of temperature series and going with what you think proves your point aint science its a deliberate cherry pick.
The different temperature series methods have different problems and without understanding these you chose the ones that supports your anti science.

You are the one calling others conspirowhacks you know the conspiracy signs yet you still ignore your own wingnuttery .

That is cognitive dissonance in reality 😆 love to Know how you do that. it must hurt.

And shawn baby .
The daily mail in a science debate 😆
one sentence in a 2000+ page report 😆
same goes for you wingnut. The game you were trying is playing personalities wich might mean something in politics it makes no different to the sciencetific method. one fuck up in the volumes of the ipcc reports discredits the one fuck envolved not the entire contents of such a huge missive. it is again classic wingnuttry..

You have two choices fuck up about agw because you are in wingnut denial about agw and demonstrable wrong or face me constantly taunting you for being a whack job. As reid says this will hurt your tummy.

Both of these choices mean I win

please keep on Shawn I can play pulling the wings of wingnuts for years.

And going all luke warm rednut
Thats the default for you nutters when you lose to try to regain some sort of dignity and self-respect.
If that were so why repeatedly post crap like no warming for twenty Years?
because you are a wingnut. 😆

I said that AGW was a theory among others. I never said it was true or false. Absolutes have nothing to do with real science.

And you have still failed to respond with any rational statement on the fact that AGW scientists have been caught lying. Attacking the source is not an argument. Two of those sources were from the pro AGW left wing Guardian.

The only wings your pulling are your own. People who ignore any contrary evidence other than that which supports their presumed final conclusion are the only wingnuts in this debate.

So if the plane I was sitting on was hijacked I think I would try and phone/text someone for help? But none of the crew or passengers of Flight 370 did this – as far as we know.
I haven’t seen any comment on this in the articles I have read.

The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.

This bloke reckons they’d be out of range.

Over land, this is easy, we’ve got cell phone towers over every bit of populated Earth (except most of North Korea), which can be communicated with by a fairly low power radio. But when you’re over the ocean, you have to transmit hundreds of miles to hit the nearest receiver, either a satellite or a ground based antenna.

Griff,

“If that were so why repeatedly post crap like no warming for twenty Years?”

Well, certainly the best part of 20 years.

You really should try to keep up, Griffy. The alarmist position is no longer to deny the “pause” in the promised warming, it is to scramble to offer an explanation for it; anything which allows them to avoid facing up to the fact that the AGW theory failed spectacularly.

“Climate change: The case of the missing heat.

Sixteen years into the mysterious ‘global-warming hiatus’, scientists are piecing together an explanation.”

People without immagination and appreciation of the problem see everything as a socialistic plot. Their blinkered view is quite amusing while rather sad.

I designed and built myself a 50m2 one bedroom cottage a couple of decades ago and have been happilly living in it since and have no desire to move out. Over the past few years I have gradually double glazed it room by room to compensate for my feeling the cold as I grow older and increasing electricty prices. The size of the house was determined by the 10metre wide section and I have a car park with room for car and trailer beside the house.

A government with innitiative and not held back by the vested interests of the people who support it could quickly solve the housing problem with factory built ‘pre-fabs’ as the UK government did post WWII … some have lasted till today. Of course the UK had a left wing government then and today we have a national government in NZ … not that I want that to change … but for them to bite the bullet and build houses adequate for the mass of people needing good housing of modern ecconomical design and standards.

With government encouragement it could well be a PPP venture with private capital rather than a drain of the government funds.

Brown – ‘Most people are over it’
Auckland mayor Len Brown believes he has won back the support of the public and his fellow councillors following last year’s revelations and subsequent furore over an extramarital affair.Auckland mayor believes he has won back the public’s support after extramarital affair furore.

Don’t fucking attempt such banal “psycho-social engineering” [brain-washing] krap, Len.
Hold a simple inexpensive unbiased standard poll and we will tell you what we think and if we “are over it”.

“Mauha Huataki Fawcett took part in, or was party to, Mellory Manning’s slaying to earn his gang patch. Members of the Mongrel Mob’s Aotearoa chapter picked up Miss Manning from Christchurch’s red light district on December 18, 2008, as part of a hit over a drug debt. They drove her to the Mob’s pad at Galbraith Ave and – to the soundtrack of loud music – raped her, beat her and stabbed her with various weapons. Once she was dead, they stood around her mutilated body, shouted ‘sieg heil’ and barked like dogs. Mobsters, including Fawcett, dumped her in the nearby Avon River where her semi-naked body was discovered by a kayaker the next day.” – NZ Herald (Kurt Bayer), March 12, 2014.

Why do our politicians tolerate gangs in New Zealand? What if it were their son or daughter – or a grandchild – whose life was exchanged for a gang patch?

Gangs are criminal organisations. They make their money from crime: theft and drugs mainly. Overseas studies show that gang crime can account for as much as 80% of all crime. Whatever the statistic, the reality is gang leaders target vulnerable young people to do their dirty work.

We want to hear your views about gangs. We think our politicians need to get tougher on gangs. There should be a zero tolerance to gangs with gang members monitored 24/7: their every action, transaction, and interaction, prosecuted at every opportunity whenever they break the law.

Crime is likely to be an election issue, so we are testing the waters on this zero tolerance to gangs as a new policy proposition for supporters, by running it as our new 5PM website poll.

Do you support a zero tolerance approach to gangs?

Let us know what you think by taking part in the poll – visit the 5PM website http://www.5pm.org.nz/ and look on the sidebar.

Comment.
A recent study that was done in Govt. apparently tells us that when looking at one M.Mob leader in Turangi and another in Auckland with their various women and children and including crime costs, benefit costs, health costs and community costs and other associated costs that we the taxpayer, front up $45 million for these costs over the persons lifetime. Unfortunately the Nats. went soft on the three strikes so these people will roam forever, particularly now they are getting wise and changing the way they do business.

Please bring back David Garret and get the law toughened even further for these people.

Alarmists spent decades lying through their teeth telling us there was virtually no natural variability, and white-washing it from the climate history in order to blame the then recent warming all on CO2. Yet when the warming promised by the AGW theory failed to arrive they reach for natural climate variability as their excuse.

If natural variability explains the lack of recent warming then it can equally explain the earlier warming; and indeed, it does.

If you finally accept the reality that there is, after all, significant natural climate variability then you largely concede the sceptics argument.

“Fuck me wat you still going on about no warming bullshit.
Do you now understand what rss tells us? it says the upper atmosphere is cooling..”

And as I keep explaining to you, such a cooling upper atmopshere contradicts the AGW theory.

You do insist on arguing against yourself (unwittingly, obviously; and so vociferously.)

The following scientific organizations endorse the consensus position that “most of the global warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities”:

American Association for the Advancement of Science
American Astronomical Society
American Chemical Society
American Geophysical Union
American Institute of Physics
American Meteorological Society
American Physical Society
Australian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society
Australian Bureau of Meteorology and the CSIRO
British Antarctic Survey
Canadian Foundation for Climate and Atmospheric Sciences
Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society
Environmental Protection Agency
European Federation of Geologists
European Geosciences Union

Geological Society of America
Geological Society of Australia
Geological Society of London
International Union for Quaternary Research (INQUA)
International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics
National Center for Atmospheric Research
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
Royal Meteorological Society
Royal Society of the UK

The Academies of Science from 19 different countries all endorse the consensus. 13 countries have signed a joint statement endorsing the consensus position:

“Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver. These conclusions are based on multiple independent lines of evidence, and contrary assertions are inconsistent with an objective assessment of the vast body of peer-reviewed science.”

The consensus is also endorsed by a Joint statement by the Network of African Science Academies (NASAC), including the following bodies:

Australian Academy of Science
Royal Society of New Zealand
Polish Academy of Sciences

Alarmist is the science on this matter wat.

As to cooling upper atmosphere contradicting global warming. I have explained it if you can not get its your stupidity not mine. The upper atmosphere cooling represent less heat escaping into space as it is retained on the surface
The extra insulation provided by the increasing greenhouse effect near the surface is stopping this heat radiating back to the upper atmosphere and into space. Its the whole premise Of AGW and you tell me its wrong wingnut.Fuck me you are thick are you not WatWat.

INTELLIGENCE chiefs fear the missing Malaysian airliner was hijacked by hackers taking over the controls using a mobile phone.

Last April, German security consultant Hugo Teso, who is also a commercial pilot, unveiled a way to hijack a plane remotely using a phone.

Addressing the Hack In The Box security summit in Amsterdam, he said he had spent three years dev­eloping a series of malicious codes on a mobile phone app called PlaneSploit that hacked into an aircraft’s security system.

Fuck me wat I dropped out a fifteen and can master this stuff. You must be thick as pigshit. no wonder you are a wingnut in denial. you dont have the brains to understand the very basics of the green house affect and you think you can talk sence on the climate debate :lol:.

And did I mention that its been climate change from at least 1988 when the International Panel on Climate Change was formed. Look look they changed the name is stupid when they actually havent. it just shows how pathetic the whole debate is when that is wheeled out so often and so easily proven wrong.

Standard Winston Peters trickery.
Won’t tell anyone which parties he will rule in or out as coalition partners pre-election, but sets a condition to any coalition agreement as a bottom line that immediately rules out National.

But with any fucking luck, Winston will eliminate himself from any coalitions by a form of attrition …

• Restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral could be a condition of any post-election coalition deal, New Zealand First leader Winston Peters says.

• The Government has only just launched its partial sale of Genesis Energy, and already Mr Peters is making it clear any government that New Zealand First is involved with will have to buy back those shares.
Mr Peters told The Nation that New Zealand First would walk away from any potential coalition partner who did not agree.

Some years ago President Clinton was hosting a state dinner when, at the last minute, his regular cook fell ill, and they had to get a replacement on short notice. The fellow arrived and turned out to be a very grubby-looking man named Jon.

The President voiced his concerns to his Chief of Staff but was told that this was the best they could do on such short notice.

Just before the meal, the President noticed the cook sticking his finger in the soup to taste it and again complained to the Chief Of Staff, but he was told that this man was supposed to be a very good chef.

The meal went okay, but the President was sure that the soup tasted a bit funny.

By the time dessert came, he was starting to have stomach cramps and nausea. It was getting worse and worse until finally the President had to excuse himself from the dinner to look for the bathroom. Passing through the kitchen, he caught sight of the cook, Jon, scratching his bum, which made him feel even worse.

By now, the President was desperately ill with violent cramps and was so disorientated that he couldn’t remember which door led to the bathroom. He tried every door in the hallway and was on the verge of passing out from the pain when he finally found a door that opened.

As he unzipped his trousers and ran in, he realised to his horror that he had stumbled into Monica Lewinsky’s office with his trousers around his knees. The President fell to the floor in pain and as he was just about to pass out, Monica bent over him to listen for a heartbeat and heard the President whisper in a barely audible voice “Sack my cook”.

A man is riding the bus when at a stop, the most beautiful woman he has ever seen gets on. The only problem is that she is a nun. He decides to approach her anyway. “Sister, you are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen and I must have sex with you.” he says.

“I’m sorry but I’ve given my body to God” she replies and then leaves.

Suddenly the bus driver turns around to the guy and says “I know a way you can get her in the sack.” The bus driver tells the guy about how the nun goes to the cemetery every night at 9 to pray, and if he dresses up and convinces her he’s God, she might have sex with him.

That night at 9, the man is in the cemetery hiding behind a gravestone. When the nun approaches in the darkness he jumps out and says “Sister, I am God and I command you to have sex with me.” She replies “Well I mustn’t deny God. However I want to remain a virgin so I will only take it up the ass.”

The guy figures this isn’t a problem and proceeds to have the best sex ever.
After it is over he whips off his outfit and says “Surprise, I’m the guy on the bus”

With that the nun turns around and says
“Surprise, I’m the bus driver.”

The US won’t accept that Russia has any legitimate spheres of influence, while Washington’s span the globe. Last week, US Secretary of State John Kerry, who used to be a sensible fellow before becoming corrupted by power, blasted Russia: “you just don’t invade a country under a phony pretext!”

I guess Kerry has never heard of the US invasions of the Dominican Republic, Lebanon, Grenada, Panama, Haiti, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia and Libya. I guess he can’t remember Vietnam and the Gulf of Tonkin incident.

Although I disagree with it on principal but maybe in extreme cases of offending there is a case for the death penalty, how about this low life piece of scum child killer who has been given 20 years for abduction, sodomy and murder of a 13 year old boy over in Queensland. There are some cases in NZ that a case could be made for it such as a candidiate like Jules Mikus, who has sexual offences dating back years as well as the schoolgirl murder, there is no hope at all of rehibilitation in cases like these.

On 4 November 2009, the Prime Minister and his Chief of Staff attended a dinner in Auckland with SkyCity Board members and executives. SkyCity told us that it had prepared a presentation for the dinner on convention centre options it was considering at that time and, at the dinner, discussed its plans for extending its existing facility. This was its preferred option at that time, although its second option was a bigger investment in a new convention centre. Its third option was to do both.

3.16
The Prime Minister told us that, at the dinner, he suggested that SkyCity think more broadly than simply expanding its existing conference facilities – in short, to “think outside the box” and come up with a larger world-class stand-alone centre. SkyCity has confirmed the same understanding of the meeting.

As for Jules Mikus, I sat directly behind him in the public gallery at his sentencing hearing.
